A. G. FELDMAN NURSERY SEAT Filed April 14, 1927 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 1'? unfold tovertical position, this position is made the limit of their travel by cooperating locking elements carried by the links and the posts associated therewith. Thus. each link 16, as it approaches the vertical position seats an outwardly-projected bottom lug 16 in a frontal notch 16 cut in the corresponding post 16, stopping the link from the post, providing clearance for the travel of the lug behind the post until it falls into the perforation. A compression spring 17 is coiled upon the outer section of the rivet to draw the link to the post and maintain the lug 17 seated in the 'ierf'oration 17. The back-rest is thus locked from collapsing in either direction. 'However, when the collapsing action is desired, all that need be done is to press the heads of the rivets 17 inwardly with one of the lingers of each hand, while the thumbs'are placed on the arm-rest tops 11 to bear down on the same. It will beseen that the pressure of the rivets 17 serves to push the links 1'? apart from the post 17 to an extent sufficient to withdraw the lugs 17 from the perforations 17 so that the links l7 -become unlocl ed from their posts.

it will be noted particularly in Figure 1 that the lug 16 of eachlink 16 is coeXtensive with the frontal edge of the link, in view of the frontal position of the notch 16 in each post 16; butthe lug'l'f of each link 17" 1sas is moreevident in Figure 3* medially positioned, in view of the corre sponding position of the perforation 11 in each post 17.

A nursery seat is thus had Which is of few and simple parts, and Whose collapsing and raising actions areeasy to understand and manipulate. When the back-rest is up, it furnishes a rest for the occupants back and arms, and in conjunction with the closed frontal cross strap constitutes guard on all sides, making the position 'of'the occupant safe. The back and arnirests are of non-metallic material, and are therefore agreeable to contact when the occupant is thinly clad. Also they are of light, flat stock of ample Width for comfort; and the special arm-rest mountings provide comfort with the use of a minimum ofstock. The locking. devices are on the outside of the seat, out of the way of the occupant and are of course too firm for the infant to disengage. WVhen collapsed, the article is of small and compact dimensions, facilitating shipping and storage in a handy receptacle out of the way when not in use.

I claim:

1. A nursery seat comprising a base, posts rigidly carried by the latter, a body rest above the base, links dropped from the body rest and pivoted intermediate of their ends to the upper ends of the posts and interlocking means respectively on the free ends of the links and in the intermediate portions of the posts.

2. A nursery seat'comprising a base, posts carried by the latter, a combined arm and back rest above the base, links dropped from the arm and back rest and pivoted medially of their ends to the posts, and cooperative elements in the links and posts to latch the links against pivotal movement relative to the posts.

8. A nursery seat comprising a base, posts carried by the latter and formed With re cesses, a combined arm and back rest above the base, links dropped from the arm and back rest and pivoted medially of their ends to the posts, and lugs carried by the lower ends of the links and adapted to seat in said recesses to lock the links from pivotal moveoperative to disengage thelugs from the re-' cesses and unlock the links from the posts. Y In-a nurse-ryseat, a base, an elevated back rest,a post carried by the base and having an intermediate slot, a link hung from the back rest along the post and intermediately pivoted thereto, a lug carried b the link and adapted to seat in said s'lot to' lock the link tothe post, andatension device to hold the link to the post and maintain the lug in seated condition.

6. In a nursery seat,a base, an elevated back rest,'a post carried by the base and having an intermediate slot, a link hung from the back rest along the post and in termedially pivoted thereto, a lug carried by the link and adapted to seat in said slot to lock the linkto the post, and a spring button incorporated in said link pivot to sepa; rate the link from the post when actuated and disengage the lug from the slot 7. In a nursery seat, a base, an elevated back rest and having a terminal aperture and intermedite slot, a link hungvfrom the back rest, a pivot pin carried intermedially by the link and passed through the aperture in the post and having a terminal head, a lug carried by the lower end of the link and adapted to seat in the slot to lock the link to the post, and a compression spring mounted on said pinbetween the post and the head to hold the link to the post and maintain the lug in seated condition.

8. A nursery seat comprising a base, posts rigidly carried by the latter, a U-shaped body rest above the base, links dropped from the arms of the body rest and pivoted to the posts whereby the body rest may swing to a position above said base, means for locking the body rest in elevated position the connection of the links and posts being at substantially the same height as the connection of the link with the rest when the rest is collapsed.

9. A nursery seat comprising a base, posts rigidly carried by the latter, a body rest above the base, links dropped from the body rest and pivoted to the posts whereby the body rest may swing to a position above said base, and cooperating means associated with one of said arms and posts and spaced from the pivot connection of the latter for latching the body rest in elevated position and yieldable menas for maintaining the parts in latched relation. 7

10. A nursery seat comprising a base, posts rigidly carried by the latter, a body rest above the base, links dropped from the body rest and pivoted in the posts whereby the body rest may be elevated above said base, and the height of said body rest being greater than the height of said posts whereby the ends of the latter will not be exposed operating elements having interengaging portions for supporting the body rest in elevated position, and yielding means for normally holding said portions in engagement.

12. In a nursery-seat having a base and an elevatable body rest disposed thereon, a post carried by said base, cooperating elements carried by the base and body rest for adjustably connecting the two, said cooperating elements having interengaging portions for I supporting the bodyrest in elevated position, and the adjustable connecting means of said cooperating elements including a yielding means tending to hold contiguous surfaces thereof in frictional contact and said interengaging portions in cooperative relationship.

18. A nursery seat, comprising a base and a back-rest, pairs of members connecting the base and rest, means secured to onemember of each pair and extending through anaperture in the other member of the pair, a head on said means, and resilient means between said head and the apertured member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
